There are 26 American states that voted for trump in 2024 that have FEWER people than the total amount of people that voted for trump in Los Angeles and San Diego counties combined. Only 8 states had more trump voters Everyone is joking about the Libs But that's a lot of people that voted for this

I truly, in my heart of hearts, believe the average American is in a significantly worse place today, Wednesday Oct 7th 2026, than they were at the height of the absolute worst days of 2020. The only difference being the facade of "Well, at least things are back to normal".

I don't know what it says about America that there are MULTIPLE clips from "the leader of the free world" in just the past few days that would have sent the American zeitgeist into an absolute tails spin even as recently as just TWO YEARS ago. Bombing American cities ≠ egg prices I guess......

This is anecdotal, no data or evidence, but it seems like subjecting Americans to ten years of trauma on a daily basis is starting to have real world impacts on their mental health and we could be witnessing the beginning of Americans absolutely losing their sh¡t in a way we've never seen before.

Important if you plan to vote by mail. Voting at a drop box is pretty easy. Just saying.

A Democrat will NOT be president on January 20th, 2029. There is just over 2 years until the 2028 presidential election. This is an eternity to propagandize less than 200,000 in a handful of states to vote republican. This is too little time for Dems to stop the tech overlords from doing so.

I think of it like...... the people who are going to get us killed and steal all our money want you to think it's because of "AI" and not them. This thread is kind of intelligent way of putting it in terms people can understand but from the perspective of someone who knows what they're talking about

Looking for a definitive Los Angeles progressive voting guide like I've seen all over Seattle Bluesky Came across this one www.progressivevotersguide.com/california I do like that it seems like they still advise you on candidates that might not be progressive but are better than evil alternatives

I think it's slowly starting to dawn on many Americans the pure chaos that is going to be unleashed upon us for the next 2 years.

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I know it's intentional, I don't need people telling me "they're doing it on purpose"...... I know. That being said. It's crazy they're out here creating a country of Jokers at the same time they're relying on capitalism basically being on autopilot as their reason to remain in control politically.

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

"It" hasn't affected the majority of Americans yet. We all thought there'd be this huge realization/reckoning right after he was sworn in starting in 2017. Instead, "it" has been this glacially slow enshitification. "It" is so normal now, even people on bluesky have no idea what "it" actually "is"

The only reason I would repost this is that musk is a "free speech absolutist" and he'd for sure want everyone to be able to see this because he's a "free speech absolutist" and has said there should be no censoring of speech....

What if the supreme court brings iced coffee to their ruling giving a crazed lunatic your voting information before the midterms..... let alone 2028 presidential election?

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Everyone knows trump said he'd fix everything day one Now, 2 years into his second term, we have to listen to how everything is worse now because things were worse for a brief time under Biden Then people accurately correct them But not many people, even Dems, ever point out what Biden inherited.

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

For some time it has felt like people have had a longing for a time that never actually existed. Then it became a longing for social media that never really existed. It seems really wild that someone hasn't created a new experience to fill the void yet.

I personally thought we'd make it to Jan or Feb before we started to see his allies lash out at America. This recent swing in attitude towards him specifically seems to be rapipidly accelerating to what will ultimately be their compulsion to react by punishing Americans.

Do people understand how little Hillary and Kamala actually lost by? Trying to convince people to actually vote for a Democrat might be something Democrats start to think about. And soon.

To make absolute certain he doesn't win, who are throwing your support behind of the two people polling ahead of him right now? rubio or vance?

America is coasting on the sacrifices of the past 60 years. For the average middle of the road 300,000,000 Americans, there hasn't really been a significant shift they can actually "feel". However, the real damage being done will ultimately have some real world impact. Oh boy when that day comes.

My new obsession is February 9th 2007. Whenever I say "imagine if you'd read this headline on 'X' date in history, I will now use Feb 9th 2007. Imagine it being the waning lame duck year of george w. bush, RIGHT BEFORE the hope and possibility of Obama and you hear the Kennedy Center is closing?

Image shows a screenshot of a web search for the phrase "day Obama declared for president" with the answer being February 10 2007

Prediction thread I talk all the time about how less than 2 years ago "the media", the zeitgeist, social media was losing it's mind about how horrible everything was under Joe Biden and Democrats. It's been radio silence as things have become much worse now than they were back then.

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I recently discovered I have a very specific and somewhat rare personality type. I didn't understand that "normal people" don't just "intuit" how the world works and what most likely will happen...... This makes things a lot clearer as to why it feels like even people on bluesky just don't get it.

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I'm not trying to dunk on these people I've chosen to follow them and will keep following them.... but it's getting harder and harder to not see the draw for people to reflexively rush to post about the latest crazy thing he's said, done or posted about Especially since it's exactly what he wants.

Is there a large serious poll about whether Americans think their lives are better or worse than they were before 2016?

000

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I love being screamed at on a daily basis that "trump isn't running in 2028"..... While he's manipulating the vote Holding campaign rallies Literally selling "trump 2028" hats Saying out loud that if he's no longer president he'll be prosecuted for crimes Needs to be president to continue his grift

000

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Americans made a deal in 2024 Their lives would get imperceivably & incrementally WORSE every single day for at least 4 years As opposed to a MINISCULE possibility, something like 2020 would happen again, and a Democrat might slightly inconvenience their narrative that "things were back to normal"

021

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

In 2020, while most Americans were absolutely losing their sh¡t and ultimately going crazy, I was finding a calm. I did not "predict" the covid 19 pandemic. Throughout 2018 and 2019, I was growing increasingly agitated and family and friends could sense something was happening with me.

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

The richest man in the world and the leader of the free world spend their days attacking American citizens and talking about the deplorable conditions of America. It's wild to think how Americans would have reacted if george bush and bill gates had spent every waking hour lambasting Americans.....

000

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I think my word for 2027 is OMINOUS After the midterms and after the Christmas spending season, America will most likely slip into something very sci-fi. People will recede into a literal great depression as we all pretend everything is great as things ACTUALLY become completely unglued.

000

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I am quite convinced that things are much worse NOW for the AVERAGE Joe American than at this time 6 years ago during a fully blown global pandemic.....

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

There are still people, serious people, who think a Democrat might be president in 2029. These people have way too much to lose to let that happen now.......

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Americans so desperately fought "to get back to normal" and anything that might even remotely jeopardize their little pretend "normal" will be ignored with impunity.

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

People who didn't vote in 2024: Everything is horrible! Harris voters: He's the worst president ever. He's destroying America. trump voters: Woke! DEI! Immigrants! Trans! Big cities! Elites! The deep state! Congrats! We're all miserable! Everyone keep acting like we're "back to normal". It's fine.

000

Gatsby @grategatsby.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Americans don't have a realistic memory or accurate assessment of 2016 through the current day. Covid was absolutely a relief valve for the bad decisions of his first term. Things falling apart FELT like it was because of covid. The mistakes are so much worse this time. The fallout will be scary

Most republicans will never support seeking justice Most non-voters don't have the stomach for years of public drama There is a small cadre of decent people who know justice is worth the effort MOST Americans just want the problem to go away Yet he'll never do the right thing like nixon Quagmire

I know it's a broken record kind of thing...... BUT imagine his approval rating if the zeitgeist (the media) treated him like Biden inflation, egg prices, age...... or Kamala Harris laugh..... or Obama tan suit...... Hillary Clinton email...... These 33% are almost totally isolated and insulated.
